Look out the other’s window. Try to see the world as your patient sees it.
Irvin D. Yalom
Though the physicality of death destroys us, the idea of death may save us.
Irvin D. Yalom
Does a being who requires meaning find meaning in a universe that has no meaning?
Irvin D. Yalom
To care of another individual means to know and to experience the other as fully as possible.
Irvin D. Yalom
I dream of a love that is more than two people craving to possess one another.
Irvin D. Yalom
When people don't have any curiosity about themselves, that is always a bad sign.
Irvin D. Yalom
Only the wounded healer can truly heal. (97)
Irvin D. Yalom
Live your life to the fullest and then, and only then, die. Don't leave any unlived life behind.
Irvin D. Yalom
To love means to be actively concerned for the life and the growth of another.
Irvin D. Yalom
The creative members of an orthodoxy, any orthodoxy, ultimately outgrow their disciplines.
Irvin D. Yalom
The spirit of a man is constructed out of his choices.
Irvin D. Yalom
None of my patients are really troubled by the idea that some part of what they say might be in a book in the future. Some have expressed the very opposite feeling--the fear that they would not be interesting enough to write about.
Irvin D. Yalom
A curious thought experiment. . . Nietzsche's message to us was to live life in such a way that we would be willing to repeat the same life eternally
Irvin D. Yalom
Mature love is loving, not being loved.
Irvin D. Yalom
If we climb high enough, we will reach a height from which tragedy ceases to look tragic.
Irvin D. Yalom
Psychiatry is a strange field because, unlike any other field of medicine, you never really finish. Your greatest instrument is you, yourself, and the work of self-understanding is endless. I'm still learning.
Irvin D. Yalom
Self-awareness is a supreme gift, a treasure as precious as life. This is what makes us human. But it comes with a costly price: the wound of mortality. Our existence is forever shadowed by the knowledge that we will grow, blossom, and, inevitably, diminish and die.
Irvin D. Yalom
Life is a spark between two identical voids, the darkness before birth and the one after death.
Irvin D. Yalom
It is wrong to bear children out of need, wrong to use a child to alleviate loneliness, wrong to provide purpose in life by reproducing another copy of oneself. It is wrong also to seek immortality by spewing one's germ into the future as though sperm contains your consciousness!
Irvin D. Yalom
Death, however, does itch. It itches all the time. It is always with us, scratching at some inner door. Mirroring, softly, barely audibly, just under the membrane of consciousness. Hidden in disguise, leaking out in a variety of symptoms. It is the wellspring of many of our worries, stresses, and conflicts.
Irvin D. Yalom
